Kelcey Ayer, the keyboardist and one of the vocalists/primary songwriters of Local Natives, sees the beauty in darkness and heartbreak, seeking art to convey and relay this affection. Though Ayer once thought it wasn't feasible for him to turn his more somber songs that didn't quite fit in with Local Natives sound into a solo project, last year the musician discovered the drive and opportunity to do so, and is now nearing his debut as Jaws of Love.
